Pregnancy from pull out method

[MeriWitch]

Just a bit curious really, been having a discussion with a friend who is baffled she got pregnant via pull out, despite me saying it's extremely likely!
I thought I'd post and see what others think about how very possible it is!

TMI here but she said he would 'finish' elsewhere then just pop it straight back in, so I said obviously he's still going to have come in his pipes!

I can't believe I just typed that

Anyone here pregnant from the same method? She said she was 'baffled' because so many people struggle with proper TTC and yet this has happened. (they're both extremely happy about it and the baby is very much wanted so no problems!)

Very intriguing

There's a word for people who rely on pull out method.

The word is "parents"

Well yes in my case squiffanies, because we used it to space pregnancies, with considerable success. It's not something to rely on if pregnancy would be a disaster.

It can be effective if done properly from my own experience. If you get to know your cycle and work out what your fertile days are, avoid sex on those days, and pull out on the other days that you do have sex, it would be very unlikely, but of course there is still a possibility so it's not 100% ideal, but better than nothing.

I also think that the pull out non-method makes for shit sex as you have to pull out when both climaxing. All in all, think it's better to use actual contraception and have a decent climax.

We were pulling out for more than 3 years, I never got pregnant. Although I wouldn't call it a method, and I wouldn't have been all that surprised if I had got pregnant doing it.

This pregnancy was planned, conceived 2/3 months after we stopped pulling out. Once here, we will be using proper contraception haha.

If done properly it is about as effective as condoms, according to studies in international journal Contraception. Articles about the studies with links to them here:

"Based on an analysis of studies, the paper pronounced withdrawal “almost as effective as the male condom — at least when it comes to pregnancy prevention.”

“If the male partner withdraws before ejaculation every time a couple has vaginal intercourse, about 4 percent of couples will become pregnant over the course of a year,” the authors write.

For condoms, used optimally, the rate is about 2 percent. But more significant, the authors say, are the rates for “typical use,” because people can’t be expected to use any contraception method perfectly every time. Typical use of withdrawal leads to pregnancy 18 percent of the time, they write; for typical use of condoms 17 percent of the time."

Feck me!!! Are people thick. No contraception means you are 100% likely to fall pregnant. Bloody hell 😳😳

Actually, having sex with no contraception means that you are roughly 80% likely to fall pregnant over the course of a year.

If you use less effective contraception, such as NFP or withdrawal with a reasonable but not perfect level of compliance then you are about 20% likely to fall pregnant.

It's not good enough if pregnancy would be an utter disaster, but it's massively better than nothing

We have used this method for 7 years, combined with monitoring of cm and knowledge of my cycles, with not even the hint of a mishap. We are much more careful over ovulation period.

But the sex must be awful if you withdraw when you orgasm. Having to remember and ensure that you pull out in time and finish off outside? Sounds shit to me! If people want up have shit sex AND risk pregnancy then good for them. I'll enjoy my orgasms and planned pregnancy thanks very much!

It's scary the naivety that's still out there. With a 16 yr old dd I am shocked that the old favourites are still doing the rounds

Can't get pregnant

1st time
He pulls out
Bath/shower straight after
Pee straight after
Do it standing up
Do it in a pool...

Dd has had many interesting debates with friends about this.

My first pregnancy - combined pill, taken properly religiously in fact, no ab's or stomach upsets. But no contraception 100%.

You forgot this naivety too:

Can't get pregnant -

• using condoms
• on the pill

etc etc

Some couples prefer using pull out to condoms. And can't use medical options. It's not an ideal world but it's a least bad option - and there are other ways of finishing off on a high!

My apologies - you did say the pill
